The Palomar twilight survey of 'Ayló'chaxnim, Atiras, and comets

B. T. Bolin, F. J. Masci, M. W. Coughlin +29

Near-sun sky twilight observations allow for the detection of asteroid interior to the orbit of Venus (Aylos), the Earth (Atiras), and comets. We present the results of observation…

Discovery and characterization of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems

J. van Roestel, T. Kupfer, M. J. Green +19

AM CVn systems are ultra-compact, helium-rich, accreting binaries with degenerate or semi-degenerate donors. We report the discovery of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems with orbit…

Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory

C. Barbarino, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +8

Type Ic supernovae represent the explosions of the most stripped massive stars, but their progenitors and explosion mechanisms remain unclear. Larger samples of observed supernovae…
